To set up Baldrick's punchlines, it's necessary that Blackadder asks questions about Baldrick and his family, even though it's hard to imagine the character would care one iota about Baldrick's background. I credit Atkinson for making Blackadder just likable enough that it's believable.

The biggest thing I learned from this article is that Al Sharpton has lost a lot of weight. Good for you, Reverend!

That's the most handsome caricature of George R.R. Martin ever done or possibly done.

Ahh, The Simpsons Season 15- where we all were so certain that our favorite show was ending on a low note. 2004, what a far simpler time.

I understand The Simpsons is an infinite humor demon, not measurable by time and space and will always, has always, be always transmitting on what our laughable ape minds recognize as "television" though it is called by different names. Secret names. Dark names at other ends of the cosmos. But why is Family Guy still…

Blackadder asking Dr. Johnson to kiss him during the dream sequence is the closest to getting the Rowan Atkinson/Robbie Coltrane romantic comedy the world DESERVES.

I guess she got this show because… Well, you already know.

I had a friend who knew the lyrics to Albuquerque line by line.

We also saw the worst think piece on Weird Al ever at Grantland- http://grantland.com/featur… It unironically contains the line "Yankovic is either on the cusp of another reinvention or terminal marginalization." which any half-seasoned editor should recognized as pure hackneyed nonsense.

"Go look at Iron Man 3; go look at The Winter Soldier;"

The original Final Destination remains the best X-Files movie. (The original was going to be an X-Files episode which is kinda obvious because it totally contains the beats of an X-Files episode, has places for Scully and Mulder to argue over what's happening, and how much padding at the beginning was necessary to…

Beethoven really got the hang of it around Symphony No. 5

I think there's a need for a "moment" to recognize a summer song when you're in my age demographic- too old for high school and too young for kids. I hadn't heard of Iggy until four or so weeks ago, but since then I have heard "Fancy" all over the place. The same pattern has repeated over the last couple years: 1. An…

Collin Farrell and Peter Dinklage revising their characters In Bruges (Dinklage's character will be SPOILERS FOR IN BRUGES a ghost only Farrell can see).

I don't think we can blame the people at the time for wildly speculating on the identity of Jack the Ripper, but now with over a 100 years of sad experience with serial killers, some of the crazier theories presented by modern authors are shameful. Rich and famous people are almost never serial killers for the simple…

Can't The A.V. Club go more than ten seconds without embarrassing themselves?

"There is one more way to kill a man, but it is as intricate and precise as a well-played game of chess."

I guessed Alfred Krupp because I forgot the answer to Jeopardy questions are suppose to be knowable.

I use to intentionally lose to my babysitter while playing Super Mario Bros. 2-player. Shockingly, older women aren't impressed by boys who really incompetent at Nintendo. But I guess it's better to learn that while you're young.

Not sure where you can take the sequel, considering the first one was an anime series stuffed into one movie.
